[Rd] dyn.load (PR#9364)

[stefano iacus]

I'll test your script.
Simon also made the same remark. Maybe in 10.4 this problem is solved.

But apparently, if I load a package and then try to detach it, R  
still keeps open the .so file for that package.
Is this expected for a successful unload (given that I never had  
experience of a successful unload I can't tell)? (I'm using ppc)
